Case Study Analyses
Unit 5 sought to examine the extent to which the unsuitable conduct of law enforcement officers has impacted the reputation of not only the profession of policing but also that of corrections. From the readings and unit discussion, I learnt that lapses in the recruiting process (whereby persons not fit to serve are nonetheless recruited and assigned sensitive duties) has in the past resulted in the recruitment of some ‘bad apples’ who proceed to engage in inappropriate behaviors and ultimately give the professions a bad name.

These, in my opinion, would help eliminate ideologies that either reinforce or promote inappropriate behaviors.

One of the key external threats that impacts both corrections and law enforcement is politics.

Law Enforcement Function • Analyze the influence of the criminal justice model on the structure and mission of a local police department.

Providing fast and open communication is a crucial component of law enforcement's role in any emergency situation, particular natural disasters in which the circumstances of the danger can change rapidly and seemingly without warning. In fact, most emergency management situations will require fast responses from law enforcement personnel and agencies.
